| Abstract | The C57BL/6J mouse has a genetic susceptibility to develop diabetes when fed with a high-fat, high-sucrose diet. The general characteristics of diet-induced diabetes in this model include progressive development of hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance and obesity, features that are frequently observed in the clinical setting. This study investigated the progressive effects of a fat enriched (FE) diet on contraction and intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ in ventricular myocytes from the C57BL/6J mouse. The characteristics of the mice fed with the FE diet compared to mice receiving control diet included progressive increase in the rate of body weight gain, increased fasting blood glucose and time-dependent differences in the disposal of blood glucose after a glucose challenge. The ultrastructure of cardiac myocytes and associated capillaries did not show any gross morphological alteration after 27 weeks of FE diet compared to controls.At 5 months the resting cell length (RCL) and the kinetics of shortening were not significantly altered in ventricular myocytes from mice receiving the FE diet compared to age-matched controls. At 5 and at 7 months the amplitude of shortening was increased in myocytes receiving the FED diet compared to controls. At 7 months the time to half (THALF) relaxation of myocyte contraction was shortened in myocytes from mice receiving the FE diet compared to controls. Mean THALF relaxation in myocytes from mice fed the FE diet was 32.0 ± 1.4 ms (n = 23) compared to 40.2 ± 2.0 ms (n = 27) in controls. Neither resting intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ nor the kinetics or amplitude of the Ca$^{2+}$ transient were altered by FE diet. Differences in myofilament sensitivity to Ca$^{2+}$ might underlie the changes in contractility. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
